Phone Case//Ideal of Sweden

 

 

Welcome to the last Friday in October! Yes, you read that correctly. Before I know it I will be back home in Dallas for the holidays helping my mom decorate the tree – something I still love today.  What can I say I’m a sucker for tradition at all occasions.

I love writing these Friday Favorites posts when I realize I have cultivated a great group of favorites without even meaning to. I’ve narrowed these favorites into 10 items in all different categories (not just beauty & fashion) that I think you will love too. These are items that I have been loving, using often, or just can’t get out of my mind. If you would like to check out my previous Friday Favorites click here.

 

 

MY RECENT FRIDAY FAVORITES


 

OPI Polish in Dulce De Leche – There is nothing like a great nude nail polish as it’s timeless and will go with everything. I really love that Dule de Leche provides some obvious color to your nails, but it is still neutral.

The Royal Tour  I have been a royal lover since the days of Princess Diana. I have loved watching the Duke and Duchess of Sussex embark on their first royal tour – the attire, shots of the bump, and to see them perform their royal duties as a couple. If you love Meghan’s style then you will love this Instagram account.

Kurt Geiger Handbag I have considered the infamous Mansur circle bag, but I wasn’t sure how much use I would get from this handbag. Luckily, I found a great dupe from Kurt Geiger that is under $200, and I can’t stop wearing it. You can see me styling the bag with a denim skirt here and a wrap coat here.

Crazy Rich Asians – I have yet to see the movie, but if the movie is anything like the book then I know it will be hilarious. If you are looking for a breath of fresh air and an easy read then give this book a try. You won’t be disappointed.

Fresh Tinted Lip Balm  In the warmer months I tend to shy away from lipstick for a more natural look. I loved this Fresh tinted lip balm in Petal because it provides a your lips but better tint and is moisturizing.

Function of Beauty Set – I spoke about this on my Instagram stories a few weeks back (make sure to follow me there). You just take a hair quiz and this company creates customizable shampoos and conditioners in gorgeous bottles. They offer gift cards so this would make a great gift for any beauty lover.

5 Swiss Customs Blog Post – Maybe because the year is ending soon or maybe because big changes are happening in my life behind the scenes, I have been really reflective. As someone who has lived as an expat most of their life, I wanted to share some of that knowledge in my latest blog post. I really hope you like it!

Ideal of Sweden – If you’ve been following me then it is no secret that I love this phone case brand. Check out my latest phone case from the brand. You can use my code [CRISTINA20] for 20% off your order until October 28.

Cashmere Sweaters These are great investments that you will have in your wardrobe year after year. However, if you don’t want to shell out $300 for a sweater check out M&S, a classic British department store, that is known for their knitwear. See me styling one of their cashmere sweaters here that is only $120.

Fresh Flowers – I have finally realized I have an obsession with fresh flowers. Not only does it make me happy to have them displayed in my home, but I love to arrange them. I am even thinking of taking a floral arrangement class when I am back home in Dallas.

    I can’t believe we’re already at the end of the month. That is such a cute case! I have a love for fresh flowers too and they can add so much to a space without even doing much. Enjoy your weekend! Sierra Beautifully Candid
